Arne Vodder was a Danish furniture designer. He was a friend and partner of Finn Juhl who had been his teacher. His designs are simple and modest, crafted in natural materials such as rosewood and teak and are free of sharp edges. One of his more notable pieces is a rosewood sideboard with drawers shaped to avoid the need for handles. Another classic is his chaise longue in teak and beech covered in wickered patent leather and produced by Bovirke. In the 1960s, the furniture not only reached the White House but also in banks, airline offices, embassies and hotels worldwide.
